The top-ranked junior chose the Bulldogs after a weekend visit to Athens.

Overview

  • Spell announced his commitment on Feb. 2 following a multiday trip to Georgia, where he met with Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs’ staff.
  • He is Georgia’s first five-star pledge in the 2027 cycle and the sixth commitment in the class, giving the Bulldogs an early centerpiece.
  • The McKeesport, Pennsylvania standout chose Georgia over finalists that included Notre Dame, Ohio State and Miami, per multiple recruiting outlets.
  • Spell previously committed to Penn State and reopened his recruitment after the program fired coach James Franklin during the 2025 season.
  • Widely rated the nation’s top running back for 2027, he produced roughly 1,700-plus rushing yards in his latest high school season and cited strong relationships with Georgia’s coaches as a key factor.
